What emotions do i want my readers to show? This is the question I have been asking myself since the training yesterday presented by Sir Caleb Okohogbe on the topic “Imagery and sensory writing" . The session was excellent,for me it was a powerful and memorable experience Imagery and sensory writing are the powerful tools of storytelling and creative writing . Sir Caleb explained this topic to the fullest. Imagery is using vivid descriptions of language that appeals to the senses and creates a mental picture and feeling in the reader's mind . It's through imagery that our brains remember how words make us feel, allowing the reader to create the picture by themselves .As a writer there is a way I can arrange my words to trigger an emotion in my readers for it is not necessarily how the words are written but how it makes the reader feel. This reminds me of all the books I have ever read and how in a way or another they have made me feel even in the slightest way. On Sensory writing He placed emphasis on writing with “specificity“ stating that the more specific your writing is the better impact it makes to the readers. Also reading like a writer. Any piece of written work we set our hands on we should read it like we are the one that wrote it . Most importantly is developing a constant reading habit. This particularly is motivational to me . Thank you sir @CALEB OKHOGBE, JCIN UNIBEN Afrocritik and everyone behind this masterclass. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and privilege . #SCWMasterclass #JCINUNIBEN #JCINDELSU #JCINPTI #JCINIAUE
